The Financial Needs Assessment (FNA) for Uzbekistan’s biodiversity sector identifies a funding gap of almost US$60 million for key biodiversity conservation activities envisaged in the current National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) covering the period of 2024-2028. This gap highlights the urgency of securing additional funds to address the most pressing challenges in the protection and sustainable use of natural resources. The FNA makes several recommendations, including increasing domestic budget allocations, engaging more effectively with international donors, and exploring innovative financing mechanisms. Strengthening financial governance and improving tracking systems have been identified as essential for fostering growth in public and private investments in nature. Implementing these strategies is crucial for achieving Uzbekistan's biodiversity goals and ensuring sustainable development.
